Was this information Helpful?

I've been trying to get a Drupal/Ubercart site off the ground for a while now and am finally getting close. As such I've been paying more attention to the nitty/gritty bits that are normally overlooked whilst dealing with the bigger picture. Ryan suggested feedback in this area would be very welcome so I figure here's a good place to start a list:

  • Shipping quote error: when the user has NOT selected a shipping quote during checkout an error message states: "you must select a quote before continuing". This is confusing and had me hunting around a bit... what quote??? - perhaps this couldb be changed to something like "you must select a SHIPPING quote".
  • "Order Complete" message: when PayPal returns the user to the merchant site a message states "Your order is complete! Thank you for shopping at XL5. While logged in, you may continue shopping or click here to view your current order status and order history. Click to return to the front page." This was confusing as I did not recall logging in previously. It's clear to me what's going on but I think it might be confusing to a shopper (thinking in particular of my dad here).

    Text Location

    Looks like "You must select a quote before continuing" is located in shipping > uc_quote > uc_quote.module about line 840. Will have to test a text change at that location myself on the localhost machine.

    Text Change Out

    Changed out the text in line 840 in the uc_quote.module on both the localhost and live test server. Seems to run OK on both.

    Now using this text in place of "You must select a quote before continuing."

    "Please select either Local Anchorage Pickup or Shipping Costs by clicking on the Click to calculate shipping button before continuing."

    The only part that would be nicer is that if in addition to the warning displayed on the top of the page would be that the "Calculate Shipping Cost" block would be outlined in red just like when name, address, etc is not entered.

    Order Complete Message

    There are a number of user configurable messages located in the administrative section as follows:

    admin/store/settings/checkout/edit/messages

    Have not changed any of these myself, but it does look like the text can be changed to fit your needs without getting into any of the module code.

    Changes

    Stormer:

    Glad that worked out for you. The other change has to be made within the module as best I can tell.

    Have fun with the project.
